Ash Ash12 I also am walking the Second Hospital path. I am getting very close,to a surgery date assignment this time. Had an almost 1 hour conversation with Jessica my case manager/facilitator. I do know in all probability I will have Dr Bradley Needleman as my surgeon, but I did tell her if his partner Dr Sabrena Noria has a sooner open date she is equally acceptable. I must give them a 30 day unbroken 4 hour or longer compliance on my C-Pap machine so that might slow me down into July. I'll do it, I'll do anything to speed, to expedite the proceedings. I want to,leave you with a thought of value.
What happened is the past & I can't change yesterday.
I accept I am perfectly okay the way I am; this is acceptable and I have the power to change my tomorrows.
Have a day full of sunshine☀

Pick up some one ounce or three ounce disposable cups. It'll help you get your liquids in post op.

It sucked having to start over some where else, but I believe everything happens for a reason and there was a reason the first hospital wasn’t for me! I wish you all the best in getting your date!!

Hey everyone! I have been a part of these forums for awhile now, but haven’t posted yet. I was getting a little discouraged waiting for my approval from insurance and waiting to get my surgery date. So I was using these posts to get me through! I’m so thankful for everyone who told their stories and asked their questions! I finally got my surgery date yesterday!!!! Whoo whoo!! July 2nd it is!! I’m so excited! Also shocked to know that i don’t have a pre op diet however I will be doing my own version of one for 2 weeks! I can’t wait for this new life! Anyways, thanks for listening!! Any great advice for what to expect would be great! 😄

I've got to introduce myself to my screen name twin! Hola! Welcome!
